We invest in faculty who create and grow news partnerships.

The Center for Community News Faculty Champions and Statehouse Faculty Champions programs seek to address the crisis facing local news by recognizing faculty leaders building innovative programs across the U.S.

Increasing the number and strength of news-academic partnerships and university-led student statehouse reporting programs is a top priority for the Center for Community News. With the success of these early efforts, CCN plans to expand resources and attention to these programs in 2024.

Sustainable and forward-thinking business models

Transparency and trust between news organizations and their communities

Greater collaboration between news organizations regionally and nationwide

Innovative storytelling tools and strategies to reach new and broader audiences
